Chapter 116: Advantages of Being a Student
Although Lin Ruoyan was optimistic about the medical examination chain business, since others wanted to proceed steadily, she did not insist. After all, she herself did not have more energy to take care of this business.
No matter how promising this business is, it's still not making money fast enough. A physical exam costs a few hundred to a thousand yuan. Even if there are patients 300 days a year, with 100 people coming in every day and each customer spending an average of 500 yuan, that's only 15 million yuan in revenue. After deducting rent, labor costs, and taxes, even if there are multiple shareholders, even if they work hard all year, they won't make as much as selling a luxury house.
But this is a long-term business. Not everyone may buy a house in their lifetime, but they will definitely pay attention to their health. There are too many potential customers for physical examinations, and the probability of repeat consumption is also high.
Finally, the few people discussed and decided that it would be safer. Lin Ruoyan only needed to invest in the decoration of the flagship store. The business methods she mentioned could be regarded as technology investment, accounting for 48% of the shares, and the rest was half each for Uncle Tong and Liang's mother.
After discussing everything, Lin Ruoyan directly assigned the work she had taken on to Zhao Xingxing, the director of the design department. She could just verbally tell him about the positioning and cost control over the phone, and leave everything else to Zhao Xingxing. This was the privilege of being a boss.
After seeing the guests off, Zhang Huanyu said to her, "Boss Lin, I've already thought clearly about the resort's crowdfunding project. If you have time, I can report to you right now."
"That's a good idea, tell me about it." Lin Ruoyan didn't expect Zhang Huanyu to give an answer so quickly.
Zhang Huanyu said, "The idea for this project was my own. I want to leverage my position as a founder to maximize profits. I envision a joint-stock company with major shareholders and smaller shareholders. They have equal shares, but different voting rights. This means that smaller shareholders only receive profits and vouchers, and they don't get to vote on company development decisions. Decision-making power rests with a few major shareholders. Major shareholders can become major shareholders by investing their technology, their own operational expertise, or their own capital. However, the funds will be used for specific purposes..."
Zhang Huanyu described his project map in an orderly manner.
In his vision, all benefits are quantifiable and available for subscription. He doesn't necessarily seek to control every detail. In other words, if he has the money, he'll simply invest in the company, minimizing the time required for future operations and freeing up his time to pursue more projects. Those who invest with the effort will be tied to the project for years to come.
The more Lin Ruoyan listened, the more she felt that Zhang Huanyu was indeed the material for an investor, not just a project manager. He had many new ideas in his mind, was not bound by any particular industry, and was very open to new things.
For example, in today's health checkup center project, Zhang Huanyu's core contribution is calculating return on investment. His ability to quickly quantify an industry he's not previously involved in, applying familiar formulas and coordinating everyone's data is a true skill.
In the future, there will be many new projects, and he will use the same logic to explore the profit points of the projects. The profit he needs is the kind that requires him to invest as little time and energy as possible, so that he can continue to earn money more stably in the future and worry less.
For example, today, he allows himself multiple options, but he won't put himself in the position of a small shareholder with only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan invested. He wants to choose a position that maximizes his profits. To do this, he needs to make precise plans in the early stages and choose people he trusts when transferring power later.
"I suddenly remembered someone, Professor Qiao Yizhi, who designed this courtyard house. His studio is definitely capable of designing a resort, and his cousin has a highly skilled construction team. If they participate in the investment through design and construction, what benefits will you offer them?"
Lin Ruoyan said this not because she disdains her position as a major shareholder in the resort project, but because her company's staff are currently busy with many projects and it's difficult to balance outsourcing. She could have Zhang Huanyu write a project plan and present it to the company, allowing the company's staff to decide for themselves how much they want to participate. Their choices would reveal their ambitions and attitudes towards life.
Professor Qiao's side is different; he can design projects anywhere in the country. He doesn't necessarily need his cousin's team for construction, but he has the skills and connections, as well as the technical expertise to manage the construction team. This could actually lead to an EPC project. How can pure design earn more than construction? If he wants to do it, he'll be a general contractor, providing everything from design to turnkey construction.
In addition, just talking about the present, in the designer circle, if you can build a completed project in such a beautiful place, your reputation will spread quickly. In the future, if you create an Internet celebrity check-in spot, there will be a constant stream of people and students in the circle, and there will be no shortage of customers.
In fact, the cost of design and even construction can be even lower. Hold a competition at the university, let the architecture department make the plan, and the civil engineering school people do the construction. Not only domestic, but also foreign architecture students can be persuaded to participate in the construction. Students are the labor force and can also be promoted for free.
Zhang Huanyu hadn't expected that Mr. Lin's casual advice would provide such a brilliant idea for expanding publicity and reducing costs—a far superior idea than he'd initially anticipated. University students possessed boundless potential. Since he'd come to Beijing to study, even though his own university didn't have an architecture department, there were so many nearby universities that he could definitely use his skills.
Some of his fellow townspeople had been admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. Using the hometown association's introductions, he could connect with professors in related fields. If he came up with this plan and carefully planned the event, he might be able to achieve even greater success than expected. This was his resource and his convenience, and he had to make full use of it.
A week later, Lin Ruoyan had obtained the project promotional materials prepared by Zhang Huanyu.
This document is a computer-generated, illustrated document, not a lengthy treatise, but rather a concise one. It's not a prospectus, but a proposal for a national design competition. Unlike traditional competitions that only involve blueprints, the competition also includes a construction schedule and site, and the final inspection requires the finished product to be built.
Of course, the main part of the B&B that will really need to be lived in and operated in the future will definitely be formally designed and constructed. This design competition is only about building a few scattered landmark buildings in the entire project, such as public toilets, cafes, landscape pavilions, bus stations, parking lots, etc.
The competition was organized by several renowned architecture schools nationwide, and hosted by faculty and students from a renowned university in Beijing. The primary co-organizer was naturally the student union of Zhang Huanyu's university. It seemed well-organized, and the presentation was clear.
The design drawings are drawn by professionals, but the construction of small buildings is not restricted by professional standards. Everyone adheres to the attitude of social practice and voluntarily participates in the work on site.
The technical advisors were teachers from these schools, and the external consultants were Professor Qiao and his cousin, who worked in construction, to provide guidance on both design and construction. Lin's Real Estate served as the sole designated sponsor, essentially providing the financial backstop.
"Sponsor?" Lin Ruoyan smiled. "Are you planning to steal my resources?"
